Iron Traffics in Circulation Bound to a Siderocalin (Ngal)-Catechol Complex
The lipocalins are secreted proteins that bind small organic molecules. Scn-Ngal [known as Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin, Siderocalin, Lipocalin 2] sequesters bacterial iron chelators, called siderophores, and consequently blocks bacterial growth. However, Scn-Ngal is also prominently e...
